What a beautiful place to walk so many trails and capture so much beauty. Hawn State Park is one of my favorites as you can come back and take a different trail that leads you to more beauty.

Rainy afternoon along the Kingfisher Trail at Pinnacle Mountain State Park, near Little Rock, Arkansas.
Sunrise explodes, and I turned the camera a little more upwards to get more of the clouds and colors there higher in the sky. Below is a capture taken before this one that focused more on the rocks below.

Canon R100 | Sigma 8-16mm
Early morning explore. Decided to test out an EF lens I bought a while back, the Sigma 8-16mm. I opted to bring my dusty barely used Canon R100, the only mirrorless camera I own. It's already a slightly awkward lens to handle and the EF to RF adapter didn't help. Nonetheless, was easy to crank out usable shots.
I chose the R100 to save a little weight versus the 7D Mark II. I was also packing the Canon 1N & 16-35L, and a Canon 60D (infrared). Already too heavy!
My impressions of the 8-16mm - 8mm is so useful on APSC. Makes a huge difference from my Canon EF-S 10-18mm. Colors render well on the Sigma. Tack sharp with the R100, as to be expected being mirrorless. Lens does suffer in the corners even at f/8 and is SO prone to flares, I lost a number of shots due to it.
Sky Meadows State Park is a 1,862-acre (754 ha) park in the Virginia state park system. It is located in extreme northwest Fauquier County, Virginia in the Blue Ridge Mountains, near Paris, Virginia. It is about an hour outside of the Washington, D.C. metro region.
The park was formed when Paul Mellon donated 1,132 acres (458 ha) of land in 1975. The name Sky Meadows came from former owner Sir Robert Hadow, who named the property "Skye Farm" after an island in Scotland. It has expanded its borders twice since then—248 acres (100 ha) were added in 1987, containing the Appalachian Trail, and in 1991 Mellon donated an additional 462 acres (187 ha), bringing the park to its present size.
It is located near Paris, Virginia off US 17, one mile (1.6 km) south of US 50 and seven miles (11 km) north of Interstate 66.
It starts in a valley between the foothills and the Blue Ridge Mountains, then has meadows and forests stretching up to the ridge of the mountain and the Appalachian Trail.
There is a basic walk-in campground, over 12 miles (19 km) of hiking trails and 6 miles (10 km) of bridle paths. The horse trails are east of US 17 and the hiking trails (and most of the park) is west of US 17.
With a combination of meadows, grazed fields, forest, scrub, and streams, it has a wide variety of ecological zones.
Most of the year, there are monthly "astronomy nights" where amateur astronomers bring their telescopes and use them to show attendees various celestial objects. Typically, an astronomer from the Smithsonian Institution is among the leaders.
Sky Meadows is a year-round bird watching site. It is known for a colony of red-headed woodpeckers that live in an oak grove just past the contact station. Depending on the time of the year, it is almost certain that this and the other six species of woodpeckers—downy, hairy, red-bellied, yellow-bellied sapsucker, pileated, and northern flicker—commonly found in this part of Virginia will be present.
Except for "astronomy nights", the park closes at dusk, and campers must be in the park and others out of the park at that time.

The facility was built in 1937 as part of Central State Hospital and later opened as a medium security prison in 1981 (Scoot State Prison). The prison housed 1,784 inmates and employed 281 people.
The state is closed the prison in 2008 because of its age. Most of the inmates were transferred to Coastal State Prison in Garden City, which has a capacity of 1,578 inmates. The remaining inmates from Scott were divided among other state prisons.
Scott State Prison was made up of three buildings.
The Kemper Bldg housed the most violent inmates, the Holly Bldg housed the close & medium security types, and the Ingram Bldg housed the medium and low security types. The Warden and administrative offices were located in the Holly Bldg. Each building had its own visitation areas and meal kitchens. The Ingram Bldg was used as the vocational training for most of the trades taught. It was also the most sought after building to be housed in due to the lower security and least amount of violence. The prison Trusty's were also housed there.
